Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) says that Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) will go before the House Ethics Committee, but fellow Republicans shouldn't 'subject to shunning' him.
Rep. Matt Gaetz says that Rep. George Santos will go before the House Ethics Committee, but fellow Republicans shouldn't"subject to shunning" him.
“I think he deserves the chance to at least make his case,” Gaetz said. “But until then, I don’t think that George Santos should be subject to shunning because the Americans he serves deserve representation, and they have real challenges, and we ought to work together to solve their challenges and meet their needs,” he said.
Gaetz went as far as to place blame on the New York media for Santos' ability to spread falsehoods. The New York Times, through an independent review of Santos' records, discovered multiple discrepancies and brought the information into the mainstream media back in December 2022. Reps. Max Miller , Nancy Mace , Marc Molinaro , Nick LaLota , Mike Lawler , Nick Langworthy , Brandon Williams , and Anthony D'Esposito , have all publicly asked for Santos' resignation, with some stating his dishonorable actions have lost the"confidence and support" of the Republican Party.
